Yeah, thanks. I was thinking of Blind Tiger. I actually haven't been to the new location yet. And I've never had their food when I was there, but it looks like a decent menu. (Same with Ginger Man- I've only been there for the beer.)

As travpard said, Blind Tiger is a good choice. There are a number of good Belgian places in the city, Resto being one of them, that have high quality food and an interesting beer list. Loreley and Zum Schnieder for German food.

It's not in manhattan, but Fette Sau does great BBQ with artisanal, craft american beers out in Williamsburg.

Aside from Heartland (meh) and Chelsea Brewing Company, I don't think there are any brewpubs in manhattan.

Oh yeah... forgot about Spitzers. Very good beer list and the food is also very good. The scene there is a little over-wrought though, so I stopped going-- too many clowns in suits shouting at the top of their lungs.

I've been to Loreley once, and it was a pleasant experience. It seemed a bit more sedate, and definitely more spacious, with perhaps a bit more emphasis on the food than Zum Schneider. It's Austrian, and somewhat more expensive:

If the NYC iteration of Croxley Ales is anything like the Long Island ones, it should have a great beer selection and amazing pub food. The Long Island branches have the best fish and chips I've ever tasted bar none.

I wouldn't describe the food as "amazing," either. I've had the fries, which were fine, and the nachos, which were pretty lame. I will check out the fish & chips, though. The beer selection is indeed impressive.

Like I said, I can only speak for the LI locations, but at these spots they have the best wings outside of Buffalo (and I've had plenty at the Anchor Bar, Duff's and the Buffalo Brew Pub), divine fish and chips (best thing on the menu), a really good take on chicken pot pie (served in a bread bowl). The only thing I was ever disappointed in was their steak and mushroom pie/stew. But like I said, I don't know what the Manhattan kitchen is like.
